About this site
Catalog

The eastern wall of Little Brother is one of the Red Sea's finest, draped with enormous gorgonian fan corals and dense soft coral down a vertical drop-off. The current-swept reef attracts grey reef and silvertip sharks, schooling hammerheads in season, and the occasional thresher and oceanic whitetip. This is a signature wall dive of the offshore islands.
